Yep, 'Updraft' is the start of a trilogy! The sequels—'Cloudbound' and 'Horizon'—are already out, so no cliffhanger agony. Wilde’s writing stays sharp, though I did find 'Cloudbound' a bit slower-paced at first. It picks up midway, and 'Horizon' brings back that sense of awe from the first book. If you enjoyed the unique setting, the sequels deliver plenty more sky-bound drama and revelations about the bone towers.

The world of 'Updraft' by Fran Wilde is one of those rare settings that sticks with you long after you finish the last page. I remember being completely absorbed by the Bone towers and the sky-bound society—it felt so fresh! While 'Updraft' is technically the first book in the 'Bone Universe' series, it’s got two follow-ups: 'Cloudbound' and 'Horizon'. 'Cloudbound' takes the tension even higher, diving into political unrest and the fallout from the first book’s events. Then 'Horizon' wraps things up with a satisfying, if bittersweet, resolution. Wilde’s world-building stays consistently imaginative throughout, though I admit I missed some of the sheer wonder of discovering the bone towers for the first time. Still, if you loved the aerial politics and the visceral flight scenes, the sequels are absolutely worth your time.

What’s neat is how each book shifts focus slightly—'Cloudbound' explores the city’s underbelly, while 'Horizon' ventures beyond the known world. It doesn’t just rehash the same conflicts, which I appreciated. The character arcs, especially Nat’s and Kirit’s, feel earned. If you’re craving more after 'Updraft', you’re in luck—the series delivers a full journey, not just a one-off adventure.

Oh, I’m so glad you asked about 'Updraft'! Fran Wilde’s trilogy is one of those hidden gems that doesn’t get enough chatter. After the first book, there’s 'Cloudbound', which flips the perspective to Nat and delves into the messy aftermath of Kirit’s choices. It’s grittier, with more focus on the city’s infrastructure (who knew I’d care so much about tower repair politics?). Then 'Horizon' ties everything together, introducing new mysteries beyond the clouds. I binged all three back-to-back last summer, and the way Wilde expands the lore—like the origins of the bone towers—kept me hooked.

Personally, I liked 'Cloudbound' even more than 'Updraft' because it felt riskier, morally gray. The sequels aren’t just 'more of the same'; they deepen the world in unexpected ways. If you’re into atmospheric sci-fi/fantasy hybrids with strong character work, this series is a must. And hey, the complete trilogy means no waiting for the next installment—perfect for a weekend marathon!

Where Can I Read Updraft Novel Online For Free?

The first thing that comes to mind when someone asks about 'Updraft' is how much I adored Fran Wilde’s world-building—those bone towers and sky-bound politics! But finding it legally for free online is tricky. Most libraries offer digital loans through apps like Libby or Hoopla if you have a library card, which is a fantastic (and ethical) way to read it without cost. Sometimes, publishers run limited-time free promotions, so keeping an eye on Tor.com or the author’s social media might pay off. I’d caution against shady sites claiming to have free copies; they’re often pirated, which hurts authors. If you’re tight on cash, used bookstores or ebook sales can drop prices to nearly nothing. I snagged my copy for $2 during a Kindle deal!

Is Updraft Available As A Free PDF Download?

'Updraft' by Fran Wilde is one I remember searching for too. From what I know, it's not legally available as a free PDF—most major publishers keep their newer titles under tight digital locks. I once stumbled across a sketchy site claiming to have it, but it reeked of malware. Honestly, your best bets are library apps like Libby or Hoopla, where you can borrow it legally. The author deserves support anyway—her world-building with bone towers and sky monsters is wild! Maybe check out Tor.com’s free short fiction section if you want a taste of her style first. That said, I’ve noticed indie authors often share free samples or older works, but trad-pub books like this rarely pop up gratis. If you’re tight on cash, used bookstores or ebook sales are goldmines. I snagged my copy for $2 during a Kindle deal last year. Worth every penny—the aerial politics alone had me hooked like a cliffhanger.

What Is The Plot Of Updraft By Fran Wilde?

Fran Wilde's 'Updraft' is this gorgeously inventive fantasy that hooked me from the first chapter. It’s set in a world where cities are built on towering bone spires, and people navigate the skies with wings strapped to their backs. The protagonist, Kirit Densira, dreams of becoming a trader like her mother, but everything changes when she breaks a simple rule and attracts the attention of the mysterious Singers—these enigmatic figures who govern the city’s laws from their hidden spires. The book’s got this incredible sense of verticality—like, you feel the height and danger of the world with every scene. What really stuck with me was the way Wilde explores power and tradition. The Singers enforce brutal laws, and Kirit’s defiance forces her into their ranks, where she uncovers dark secrets about the city’s past. The tension between individual freedom and societal control is woven so tightly into the plot. Plus, the flight scenes? Absolutely exhilarating. The way Wilde describes the wind, the weightlessness, the near-misses—it’s like you’re gliding right alongside Kirit. By the end, I was desperate to know how the rebellion she sparks would play out in the sequel.

How Does Updraft Compare To Other Fantasy Novels?

3 Answers2026-01-28 04:29:05
The first thing that struck me about 'Updraft' is how it blends classic fantasy elements with fresh, sky-bound worldbuilding. Most fantasy novels stick to grounded kingdoms or forests, but Fran Wilde’s world of living bone towers and wind-borne societies feels like nothing I’ve read before. It’s closer to 'The Bone Ships' in its maritime (or in this case, aerial) focus, but with a tighter personal narrative—less about fleet battles, more about the politics of flight and the weight of tradition. The protagonist’s journey from outsider to revolutionary has echoes of 'Mistborn', but the societal stakes feel more intimate, less apocalyptic. What really sets it apart, though, is the sensory writing. The descriptions of wind currents, the creak of bone bridges, and the terror of falling—it’s visceral in a way most sword-and-sorcery tales aren’t. Where 'Stormlight Archive' dazzles with magic systems, 'Updraft' makes flight itself the magic. I still catch myself looking at clouds differently years after reading.

Can I Buy Updraft In Paperback Or Only Ebook?

Man, I totally get wanting a physical copy of 'Updraft'—there's something special about holding a book in your hands, right? From what I've seen, Fran Wilde's 'Updraft' is available in paperback, though it might depend on where you look. I snagged my copy from a local bookstore a while back, but online retailers like Amazon or Barnes & Noble usually have it in stock too. Sometimes smaller shops might need to order it, but it’s out there! If you’re into collector vibes, you could also check for special editions or used copies—I’ve found some gems that way. The tactile feel of flipping through those pages while diving into the bone towers and sky-bound politics just hits different than an ebook. Hope you find your perfect copy!
